Gronkowski will feature in “Kick of Destiny 2” in a game-opening field goal for $10m bonus bets. This time, fans can predict his success for a share of the prize. A humorous ad campaign features Gronk training with Carl Weathers and facing John Cena‘s gleeful anticipation of his potential miss.

WWE Legend and 16-time World Champion John Cena is known for winning tough battles through his sheer hard work and commitment. But now, he will be up against the NFL legend Rob Gronkowski in a newly added battle to the Super Bowl.

Rob Gronkowski and John Cena up against each other at the Super Bowl

FanDuel partnered with retired NFL star Rob Gronkowski for a live, on-air field goal attempt during the Super Bowl, last year. If Gronkowski made the 25-yard kick, all customers who placed a $5 bet on the game would win a share of $10 million in bonus bets. Despite an epic training montage and hype, leading up to the event, Gronkowski unfortunately missed the kick. It was announced by the PR team of FanDuel group, an online betting company, that NFL Legend Rob Gronkowski would be back for another attempt at this year’s Kick of Destiny.

Talking to media for the occasion, Gronkowski said, “I can’t lie, when I missed the Kick of Destiny during last year’s Super Bowl, it was devastating. I told the team at FanDuel I knew I could do better and needed a shot at redemption this year.” Gronkowski’s comments reflect his story of redemption. 

But his opponent, John Cena, did not shy away from taking a sly dig for Gronkowski’s missed opportunity last year. Cena said, “I remember watching Gronk’s kick last year and am so excited to be working with a brand like FanDuel to make this sports moment more exciting for their fans, but do I think he’s going to make it? No chance!”

John Cena said, “I rarely get to play the villain so I’m ready to fully embrace this role.” Cena knows that the odds will be against him this time despite being the hero for many WWE fans. In fact, he has been a baby for eternity since turning face in 2003. However, he is up against Rob Gronkowski. 

Meanwhile, Gronkowski is also excited about a second chance as he says, “I’m going to show America I can make that kick, even with all the pressure of doing it live in front of the entire country.” There is nothing like a wounded tiger, and Gronkowski is looking for redemption.
